Answer:
Height = 11 inches
Base = 33 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to find the height and base of a parallelogram given the area of the parallelogram.
From the question, we are told that height is 1/3 of base. This means that base is 3 times the height
So if we represent the height with variable h, then the base is 3h
Mathematically the area of a parallelogram can be calculated by the formula
A = bh
Thus ,
363 = h * 3h
3h^2 = 363
divide through by 3
h^2 = 121
h = √121
h = 11 inches
since b = 3h , then b = 3 * 11 = 33 inches
See the attached figure.
m ∠KAJ = 170° & m ∠LAM = 80°
We should know that :
m ∠KAJ + m ∠LAM + m ∠KAL + m ∠MAJ = 360°
∴ m ∠KAL + m ∠MAJ = 360° - (m ∠KAJ + m ∠LAM)
∴ m ∠KAL + m ∠MAJ = 360° - (170°+80°) = 360° - 250° = 110°
But : m ∠KAL = m ∠MAJ ⇒⇒⇒ <u>Opposite angles.</u>
∴ m ∠MAJ + m ∠MAJ = 110°
∴ 2 * m ∠MAJ = 110°
∴ m ∠MAJ = 110° ÷ 2 = 55°
<u>So, the answer is : m ∠MAJ = 55°</u>
